Section 6(a) of the Puerto Rico Occupational Safety and Health Act: The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to: Seccion 6(a) de la Ley de Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo de Puerto Rico: El patrono no proveyo empleo y un sitio de empleo libre de riesgos reconocidos que esten causando o que puedan causar muerte o dano fisico a los empleados, por cuanto empleados estaban expuestos a: a)Workplace (negative pressure rooms: 218, 221, and others): the employer did not assure that isolation rooms were mantained under negative pressure. Hazard: exposure to tuberculosis and airborne diseases. One feasible and acceptable abatement method among others, to correct this hazard is: the employer must assure that isolation rooms are maintained under negative pressure. At a minimum, the employer must use smoke trails or some other indicator to demonstrate that direction of air flow is from corridor into the isolation room with the door closed. Other methods to monitored negative pressure are: differential pressure-sensing devices (e.g., manometer) and physical indicators (e.g., flutter strips). Negative pressure rooms should have an airflow between 6 to 12 mechanical air changes. Periodic checks are required to maintain the desired negative pressure. The employer shall establish and maintain a log for the recording of negative pressure evaluations (periodic checks, air changes calculations, and other). References: CDC MMWR: Guidelines for Preventing the Transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Health-Care Settings, 2005. OSHA CPL 02-00-106 - CPL 2.106 - Enforcement Procedures and Scheduling for Occupational Exposure to Tuberculosis. a)Lugar de trabajo (cuartos de presion negativa: 218, 221 y otros): el patrono no aseguro que los cuartos de aislamiento eran mantenidos en presion negativa. Riesgo: exposicion a tuberculosis y a enfermedades aerotransportadas. Un metodo de correccion viable y aceptables, entre otros para corregir este riesgo es: el patrono tiene que asegurar que los cuartos de aislamiento son mantenidos en presion negativa. Como minimo, el patrono tiene que usar pruebas de humo o algun otro indicador para demostrar la direccion del flujo de aire del exteriordel cuarto hacia dentro de este, con la puerta cerrada. Otros metodos para muestrear la presion negativa son: artefactos sensibles a diferencias en presion (ej manometros) e indicadores fisicos (ej "flutter strips"). Los cuartos de presion negativa deben tener un flujo de aire entre 6 a 12 cambios de aire. Se requiere revisiones periodicas para mantener la presion negativa deseada. El patrono tiene que establecer y mantener un registro para anotar las evaluaciones de presion negativa (revisiones periodicas, computos de los cambios de aire y otros).
